BREATHALYZER & SAFETY ORIENTATION
When you tackle the controls of our massive machines, we want to make sure that you are safe at all times. That’s why it is important that we start each session with a quick overview of the safety procedures that we require you to follow while digging. After you pass the breathalyzer test, you get fitted for your super-cool neon yellow vest and hardhat! (Beware! Your Dig is non-refundable if you fail the breathalyzer test).
IN-CAB ORIENTATION
The words “Get A Grip” take on new meaning at Dig This when you’re seated at the helm of our giant earth movers. Our instructors walk you through every lever, button, and thing-a-majig that you need to know to maneuver our machines with the grace of a ballerina. After just a short time of in-cab training, you’ll have the confidence it takes to get to the business of play.

WARM-UP EXERCISES
Wheeling these bad-boy machines around the yard might take some baby steps to get fully comfortable. So we’ve designed a series of warm up exercises to get you digging like a champ. You’re connected via headset to our instructors at all times so that you can operate smoothly, under the watchful eyes of our crew. From here, you’re digging, trenching, pushing, and dragging your haul around the lot in no time.
ACTIVITIES
Now that you’re a pro at the basic operation of the machine, our staff guides you through a series of activities to test your skills. Ever played a game of “Excavator Basketball,” or built and ridden your own “Bulldozer Teeter-Totter?” Well, after your Dig This experience, you can say you have. Our specially planned activities are designed to put the FUN back in fundamentals.

FREE TIME
Yep, just like recess at school, it’s time to set you loose. Tear, dig, rip, claw, grind, and drive to your heart’s content (under the watchful eye of our instructors, of course). Is there something you’ve always wanted to see these machines do, up-close, and personal? Well, here’s your chance during the free time segment of the Las Vegas Dig This experience. If you don’t have sore cheeks from smiling, and tired abdominal muscles from laughing after this phase of the game, then you’re not trying hard enough.
AWARD CELEBRATION
You worked hard and have proven your skills behind the controls of America’s most powerful machines. Now it’s time to celebrate with an official Certificate of Completion, and a photo opportunity to commemorate this joyous occasion. Hang your plaque with pride. Boast about your achievement for years to come. You’ve earned it!

Can I operate if I have a disability?
Dig This can provide an experience for most disabilities, how -ever you must have good vision and have good use of your upper body. If you are deaf or hard of hearing we ask you provide someone who can help our instructors facilitate through sign language. Please call us before you book so we can discuss and better understand the disability so we can better prepare and recommend appropriate equipment to operate.
